Investigators still do not know why the plane suddenly entered a near-vertical dive in southern China on Monday.The black box was found damaged on the outside but its internal records appeared to be fine, officials said. It has been sent to Beijing for its data to be analysed.
"I hope the country can thoroughly investigate this matter and find out whether it is the manufacturer's fault or a maintenance problem."

"From what we know, the performance of the three pilots had been good and their family life relatively harmonious," the airline representative said.
